Tucked away in a quiet street in the centre of Lamu's historic Old Town, Baitul Noor House is a newly renovated 16th century Arab-style town house that has been specifically designed for intrepid and social traveller’s as well as groups of friends and families. We have highlighted the centuries old architecture of the building with warm, rustic finishes and a modern twist to give you a unique yet
traditional and homey feel. The social spaces have been adorned with murals illustrated by Nicola Heath and Eliamin Ali - two of Nairobi’s top artists. Our extensive rooftop lounging area for unwinding and relaxing, our traditional coastal kitchen serving Swahili-style food, the social spaces and other amenities make us one of Lamu’s most entertaining and comfortable accommodations. Our central location means you're minutes away from local shops, seafood market, banks, restaurants, bus station, airport and the white sandy beaches of Shela and Manda island. The island itself is a place of rolling dunes and endless beaches, where villages nestle among coconut and mango trees and dhows ply the waters. Whether you're interested in the arts of Lamu, one of the islands many local festivals, exploring the surrounding archipelago on a beautiful traditional dhow, sampling the local Swahili cuisine or just relaxing on one of the many white sandy beaches - Baitul Noor House is the perfect place from which to explore the sonorous Swahili culture that encompass all that is Lamu!
